Roland Joseph McKinney, director in charge of the Los Angeles museum, will address the group following the reception on “The Museum, the University, and the Public.”
The museums of 20 years ago had dingy interiors, exhibiting lack of taste, according to Mr. McKinney, and were utterly oblivious of the possible usefulness of the valuable collections which they contained. The average person found such institutions uninspiring except on rare occasions, he states. #
TECHNIQUE HAS CHANGED
“Fortunately, the technique of museum administration has changed radically in the past 20 years,” declares Mr. McKinney. “The method of approach has expelled to some extent the tomb-like atmosphere which prevailed in the past. The museums are now alive to the fact that if they are to be useful, they must be functional, and upon premise, an active museum program is now conceived.
“A museum such as the Los Angeles county museum, encompassing as it does the divisions of history, science, and art. is in itself a university of the people, and as a functional activity in this regard, is one of the most valuable assets a community can possess.” EDUCATION AIDED
A museum equipped to place at the disposal of instructors and students valuable material for demonstration makes it easier for educational institutions to advance their courses of study, according to Mr. McKinney.
The receiving line at the reception will include Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid; Dean Rockwell D. Hunt of the graduate school; Dean Mary Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women; Dean Arthur C. Weatherhead.

Lecturer To Quote World Authorities On Communism *
“Communism in Theory and Practice” is the topic chosen by Adamantios Th. Polyzoides for today’s Philosophy forum, which will open at 4:30 p.m. in Bowne hall.
Mr. Polyzoides, who serves as lecturer in international relations, will discuss the present Communist state and the
disaster which has befallen it.
In speaking of the present crisis in Russia. Mr. Polyzoides said. “The agreement between Russia and Germany in 1939 put a definite end to the tendencies of Russian Communism and its abandonment by the present Russian regime.”
FOUNDING TRACED
Tracing the founding of Communism. Mr. Polyzoides points out that Communism started with the theory of gradually abolishing a political government and establishing a freer community in the economic as well as the social field.
Mr. Polyzoides further states that, “according to this theory, human society, in common, would enjoy good things in life. Further, it would abolish social classes, and eliminate private property, which is the source of inequalities and make political government superfluous.” AUTHORITIES CONSIDERED
Tracing the origin of this type of government in Russia since earliest times, he will touch upon the beginnings of the movement during the French revolution of 1789. Fur-j ther examining the movement, he 1 will tell of the short-lived experience of Communism in Paris in the 1870s and then carry on into the | growth of the Russian revolution from 1825 to 1905. when, under f Lenin, the new type of Russian fct. Communism takes shape.
Mr. Polyzoides will substantiate the tracing of Russian Communism by quoting from such well-known world authorities as Trotsky for Russia, Borkenau for Germany. Max Eastman for the United Litates. and Doriot for French Communism.
